Bibliography

As you gather the sources for your Wikipedia contribution, think about the following:

Is the source from a reliable publication?
- Reliable publications include established newspapers, academic journals and books, textbooks, and other published sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking.
- Unreliable sources include blog posts and other self-published works, press releases, and social media posts.
Is the source verifiable?
- In order for a source to be considered verifiable, other editors should be able to consult the source.
Is the source independent of the subject?
- Is the source connected in any way to the subject? This is especially important when writing biographies or about organizations.
- For example, if you were writing a biography, sources like the person's webpage or personal blog would not be considered independent.
Is the source primary or secondary?
- Primary sources include first-hand accounts, autobiographies, and other original content.
- Wikipedia allows limited use of primary sources, but typically only for straightforward, descriptive statements of facts, and only if they are published and verifiable without requiring specialized knowledge.
- Secondary sources should be the main basis for a biography on Wikipedia.
If you're working on a topic related to medicine or psychology, ensure that your sources follow these special guidelines.
If you're creating a new article, consider the following:
- Ensure that your topic meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
- In order for a topic to meet the notability requirement, you must be able to identify 2-3 sources that are reliable, verifiable, and independent of the subject you're writing about.
- Finding sufficient sources to establish notability can be especially hard when writing about people or organizations.
- Sources that are not independent of the subject might be useful additions, but don't count towards the notability requirement.
- Wikipedia has developed special guidelines for writing about living persons. Please follow these carefully.
- Wikipedia has a series of guidelines for writing about different categories of people, such as academics and artists. If you're trying to create a new entry about a living person, please look at these carefully.

If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, ask a librarian! If you have questions about Wikipedia's sourcing rules, you can use the Get Help button below to contact your Wikipedia Expert.

Bibliography

This is where you will compile the bibliography for your Wikipedia assignment.

Reference 1

Summary: The Apalachicola Bay is predicted to increase in salt content and hinder the population growth of oysters. Flow should be maintained to manage oyster reproduction and reef habitat. ^[1]

Incorporation: I plan to use this article as a way to give insight into how oyster populations in Apalachicola Bay is expected to change. I will also use this to convey the importance of flow and connect this to the ACF water wars and Apalachicola oyster fisheries.

Reference 2

Summary: The understanding of how river discharge influences oyster abundance is not fully developed. As a result, flow management is difficult because manager are unsure of how oyster populations respond to changes in flow. ^[2]

Incorporation: I intend to use this article to briefly explained how flow vs. oyster abundance has changed over time. It also provides information on why this understanding is complex and variable. I do not think that this article refutes the information in the (Wang et al. 2008) article, however it is a reminder that researchers are still understanding the relationship between river flow and oyster reef growth.

Reference 3

Summary: This report explores the ecological factors influencing oyster distribution, how drought in the ACF basin influence prompts changes in biodiversity within the Apalachicola bay. This text also provides insight into the ACF water wars and water use challenges in the southeast.^[3]

Incorporation: I will use this article to provide more details on the biodiversity and species management occurring within the Apalachicola Bay. I also plan to use it to provide a background into the ACF water wars and how they connect to the oyster decline in the Apalachicola Bay.

Reference 4

Summary: Restoring Apapachicola Bay Oyster fisheries would yield a positive increase in economic activity. Industries that would benefit from sustainable oyster fishery management include seafood production, wholesale and retail seafood sales, and tourism.^[4]

Incorporation: This article is useful in sharing information on the economic benefits of restoring oyster fisheries in the Apalachicola Bay. This benefits local communities, long-term oyster fishers, and the recreation/culture surrounding the bay.

Reference 5

Summary: Population growth of metropolitan Atlanta and irrigation has contributed to the climate change driven droughts in the southeast. This led to water conflicts between Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, weakening oyster fishery business in the Apalachicola Bay and inducing water use restrictions. ^[5]

Incorporation: I plan to use this article to explain how climate change has led to lower flows in the ACF basin and recurring drought in the Apalachicola River. It highlights the connection between climate change and the weakened oyster industry in the Apalachicola Bay.
